“Lecturer
Rafiqul Bari and computer studies teacher Bulbul Quddus were suspended while 21
lecturers were sacked in an administration council meeting on Thursday
following recommendations of the investigation report.”
The
ministry would soon be informed of the dismissals, said Bhowmik.
The report, submitted by the two-member probe committee on last Jul 22, stated that there were evidences of Bari and Bulbul’s financial wrongdoings and embezzlement of Tk 20 million.
The report also recommended the dismissal of the two teachers and 21 lecturers for forgery of teacher registration certificates, said Bhowmik.
However, Bari has denied his involvement in the embezzlement of money. He said steps taken against him were unjust.
“Former whip and local parliament member Sheikh Abdul Wahab was chairman of the college when the alleged money embezzlement is said to have taken place. I was powerless in front of the influential man,” he told bdnews24.com
When bdnews24.com contacted the former Whip Wahab averted the allegations raised by the lecturers and instead blamed the probe committee.
